    What's that brilliant phrase Noel once threw at Liam? He's a bloke trying to eat soup with a fork??? There's some of that in how we're using a couple of those players...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    ??? Not sure I follow? I said that I was happy to ride the weirdness of last season, especially given that we ended up winning a trophy via adapting (and yes, it was stodgy stuff). My hope was that perhaps we'd find some modifications in certain game situations going forward, yet retain the...

    :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:...but I'm getting too old NOT to be a footballing snob LOL!!!! Reminds me, I must be careful not to start uttering 'it weren't like that in my day' about absobloodylutely everything hahahaha!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    We've done it to death mate. I agree that winning is the end game. Again, we've discussed this before but I am not sure how you get to 'he's lost all his senior attacking players from last season'? Are you specifically referring to Deki and Son? No arguments with their losses being...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'll speak personally and not for @Finney Is Back ...I'll put that stat aside and focus on Ange's awful portion of it. Seeing us sticking to the same philosophy whether (for example) Archie Gray was at CB or Cristian Romero gave me great hope that we were bedding in a culture. Sometimes the...

    I am not sure whatyou want me to say. Would you like me to say, 'SpurMeUp, I accept wholeheartedly that my opinions on this matter are not worthy and hereby say you are right and have been all along'? Sorry. That won't happen. I can't be much clearer on my viewpoint than I've repeatedly been...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    First part...I think it's what you hope for week in week out, but it has been sporadic with us, so great to see it happening. As for the second part, I know that's your POV. I still want to know what he is aiming for with regards to an actual identity.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Well, given the ludicrous amount of money he spent on those players only to then sack the manager he got them for weeks later, probably so.

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    I do feel sympathy for Frank in that regard. He has come into a club under one regime, seen that swept aside, and is now amidst a new regime itself bedding in. It is far from ideal.

    Cristian Romero

    Oh I saw it. I personally do not call that a kick; it barely registers a flick. It was silly for sure and Romero needs to try and not react despite the weight of challenge, however given the gamestate and how many times I see similar situations end up with a player wrapping his hand around...

    Mohammed Kudus

    I feel really sorry for Kudus. He is constantly our main chosen outlet, and as such carries a weight every single time he is on the ball. We are often caught too deep to have men ahead of the ball (let's face it, Muani's a nice player but he doesn't bust a gut to get into the final third on...

    Cristian Romero

    We are going to struggle big-time against Palace. Everything will be lasered in on Porro as the only real passer we have, Kudus will be doubled and pressed. If we are going to sit in and do the horseshoe boogie, I'd like to see Johnson on the left in the rare hope we can quickly get the ball...

    Did he?

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    I think we will be fine based on the poverty of the bottom three...but we are certainly heading for dodgy territory. We go to Palace without Romero and Xavi, Solanke has reportedly 'had a setback' (whatever that means), Udogie being out is a big miss, and IMO, people are mistaking the passion...

    We will see the full-press of the football world now to try and get VdV retroactively banned or something like that.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think, in fairness, it is based on the notion of giving the manager the players he supposedly wanted...and then maybe letting him either elevte them or sink with them. It was a period in our history I think we will pay for eternally. Levy made up with Poch that summer (perhaps he shouldn't...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Am I missing a pattern of play, beyond the enforced 'counter' tactice with 10 men which basically meant we had no de facto 10 in Simons? It is possible to have enjoyed the fight of the performance, enjoyed the energy of the chaos, feel sorry for the team and Frank, and still recognise we were...
